Default Locations in the Pensacola area?

I'm visiting family up in Pensacola for the weekend (Friday until whenever the wind dies) I was wondering if anyone could help me out and tell me where some good locations to kite are. It'd be sick to get out those days, forecast is calling for some sick winds

There is some information at:

You might find some more information by searching under Pensacola.

Have a great weekend and stay warm!

Sounds like you have some strong wind on the way and cold air temp's. The wind is forecast to shift clockwise somewhat with the passage of the system. Later on today it is supposed to become even stronger. Good time not to be rigged too big. I would try to hook up with some locals to verify conditions and the suitability of the spot, gear, etc. for anticipated winds. Supposed to be pretty chilly too, hi/low to day and tomorrow of 58/46 F and 64/59 F. Sounds like some challenging conditions at times.
